 The man who makes money in feel ing pigs from stockings up must feed, in the.r younger days, a diversity of flod 10 give bone, muscle and good digestion. An exclusive corn diet does not produce the requisite proportions of bone and muscle in animals. It contains too much carbon and not enough nitrogen. Breeling-sows that pat little or nothing except corn are poor mothers. They generally produce but small litters of pigs, and they give but little milk. Pigs brought up on corn alone appear to have but little vitality. They are not as lively as those that enjoy the privileges of ire range and eat q variety of food. They appear to be more likely to contract disease. The hog has become more delicate since it was kept in pens and has had corn brought to lis trough. During the past few years diseases have been more common and more generally fatal among hogs than among horses, cattle or sheep. On this account many farmers have abandoned pork-raising or keep only enough hogs 10 supply their house. holds with meat. They do not dare take the risks that attend keeping large numbers of hogs and feeding them the corn they raise.
 The most successful hog-raisers now advocate inc substitution of oher grains, fruits and vegetables for half the corn they formerly fed, and they rely chiefly on corn for making fat, but they give their hogs bran, shorts, ground rye, oats and barley. boiled potatoes, roots, apples and puml kins, or :quashes. They find the health aud general condition of their hogs better when they are allowed a change of food. They are better breeders. and the sows give more milk. The pork produced is not as fat as that made from com, but it is generally preferred. There is less leaf-lard, but more meat that is suitable for making bacon. The hogs are more active and take more exercise. For this reason their circulation and digestion are bets ter Farm, FseId a'sd StockmlaH

Tn, Aoponattox Table.

A war relic of considerable interest is in the possession of Mir. Gunther of this city, and occupies place in the second-story of his storc on State street, says the Chicago Tribune. It is massive table, supported by outspreading legs, the top being Q cracked marble slab about three feet square. The following inscription is on it.: "The Appomattox table. Upon this table the papers for the surrender of General Lee to General Grant were made, and ended the late civil war" Mir. Gunther bought it for $l l,OOO from Mrs. Ord, the widow of the late Major-General Ord of the Union army. She had an autograph letter from General Grant, stating that tho table is the identical one upon which the historical papers were signed in the court house. It is an ordinary piece of work and of cheap material. General Ord was pres ent at the surrender and was shrewd enough to take possession of the table.
